at the matter from a national
standpoint, we find the idea if any
thing still stonger emphasized, in
the accepted rule that the Presi-
dent of the United States shall
not be elected for q third term.
If there were no other reasons than
this one, it should be all sufficient
for the Democrats of Louisiana to
refuse to nominate Coy. McEnery
fora third term.

Executive Continuity in once.

Executive Continuity i'm Office.
The ''third term" idea is puzzle
to the administration factionists,
or at least they pretend that it is.
They claim that Gen. Nichols and
his friends are inconsistent, because
they are opposed to the governor
being continued in Office for a
longer period than eight years,
while many of Gen. Nichols sup
porters have themselves been in
office for much longer period,
and are now candidates for re-
election. They ignore the fact
that the third term rule, as believed
in and practiced by Democrats for
three-quarters of a century, has
been applied invariably to Gov
ernors and Presidents, and only to
other officials when they have
fallen short of what the people
thought they had a right to expect.
There is no imperative reason in
the world why good judge, clerk
or sheriff may not be continued in
Office for life or during good be-
havior, and the examples where
this has been the case are numer-
Gus; but, in the great majority of
instances, even where officials have
been satisfactory, it has always
been held that the public good
demanded change; and the ex-
ceptions to the rule are SO few that
they can scarcely be taken into
account. The great difference be-
tween the executive and other Off
Gals is that the first have control
of the official patronage while the
others do not, and it has always
been considered dangerous to give
too long lease to those entrusted
with the appointing power. This
is principle so well established,
and the reasons for it are SO patent
to any thinking man, that we shall
not stop to discuss the subject here.
An examination of the constitu-
tons of the various States of the
Union show a remarkable unanimi-
ty of sentiment against the con-
tinuance of one man in the guber-
material chair for any great length
of time. Four-fifths of the States
elect their governors for one. two
and three years, and nearly all of
them have q provision in their
constitutions that their governor
shall not be eligible to three con-
secutive terms. Several States
elect their governors for q period
of four years, and all of them,
except Louisiana, have q constitu-
tional provision that their govern
ors shall not serve for more than
two terms consecutively. Two or
three of the States elect their gov
ernors for term of six years, but
they all provide that their chief
executive shall not be eligible to
second consecutive term. These
examples show how zealously the
people of all the States have guard
ed against the Capitalization Of
power; and, when we come to look
